Hi everyone! Just a reminder about the Glitter Ritz/Copic coloring demo tomorrow, Sunday 9/9 from 10-11 am with Colleen Capello. Come and see how Colleen stamps and adds glitter and colors the image with Copic markers.

Hi everyone! Here's a couple of samples that I made using Dandelion Designs new Halloween stamps. I used Tim Holtz pocket envelope die for both of these projects. For the first one, I used the Happy Halloween stamp set.

Papers are from Doodlebug Designs Halloween release. I used distress inks for the white edges.

And instead of using ribbon, I went with yellow striped washi tape from Freckled Fawn. If you plan to use washi tape on a project, you may want to put some adhesive under it to make it stick permanently.

For the 2nd envelope, I used Pumpkin Kitty stamp set. I stamped the jack o lantern face on the pumpkin.

Hi everyone! I know it's been awhile since I posted crafty projects here. I made this the other day using the Sizzix Tim Holtz matchbook die set. Took me around 5 minutes from start to finish. I used a Martha Stewart graveyard border punch for the background.

The spider is a Dandelion Designs cling stamp from last years set.

And the word stamp is a clear Hero Arts stamp from last year too. I put some candy corn on the inside of the matchbook.

All the stamps on the smaller matchbook are Hero Arts. I used Tim Holtz's orange marmalade distress ink for the background behind the haunted house. It was in his limited edition ink set for Halloween from last year.
